A Michelangelo of Caricature
Things Fall Apart
He Dines Out on Death
It’s Broken But We Keep It Anyway
Quicksand Lovers
Lorraine wanted money
Thought it was funny
Jamie typing out his heart
And starving for his art
Now he works for a bank
But she’s not here to thank
She’s with a polo player
In The Argentine
She’ll suck you in
She’ll put in sync with sin
You can’t run for cover
She’s a quicksand lover
When she’s finished you off
She’ll grin
Ann was a schoolgirl
Dennis was a tennis star
He’s married to a model now
He didn’t take Anne quite that far
She has a heartache
She has a habit
And he has breakfast cereal on national TV
Lila wanted love
She thought William was the answer
He said “I love you, too
Now come and meet this dancer
Whips plus three’s the life I’ve led
There’s the door, or here’s the bed”
So she went along for the ride
Rage and Fascination
She’s a Legend, She’s a Classic
What a Shame
Show Me What Tenderness Does
She lay down beside him
She said “please explain—
Will I find God
Or a new kind of pain?
Will blood colour my palms
With an amorous stain?”
Show me what tenderness
Show me what tenderness
Show me what tenderness does
I’ve tried self-containment
I’ve hungered for thrills
But cruelty is tainting
And solitude chills
And lust without loving
Just quietly kills
Show me what tenderness
Show me what tenderness
Show me what tenderness does
